Further study

Many graduates choose to continue their studies as a postgraduate. Our undergraduate programmes give a strong foundation for further study, including the necessary research skills.

Why study a master's or PhD?

There are many reasons why students decide to keep studying. Completing a master's or PhD (doctoral research degree) can further increase your employability and help you reach your career goals. You'd also gain deeper knowledge and develop your skills in the subject you're most passionate about.

Funding further study

The cost of postgraduate degrees depends on whether you choose a master’s or research degree. Prices can vary between courses too. Just like with undergraduate courses there are scholarships you can apply for, as well as Government student loans.

Fees and funding

When to start researching your options?

If you want to pursue further studies, it’s never too early to explore your postgraduate options. You can start now by thinking about how you'd fund it, where you'd live, the skills you’d gain and how it fits with your career goals. Armed with this intel, you can make informed decisions about your future.

And you can always talk to us. Chat to your personal tutor, pop along to the Careers Network or visit a Postgraduate Open Event. Better still, talk to current master’s or PhD students. They can give you the student perspective of studying at the next level.
